I posted in the Pittsburgh boards and I thought you might like to see what I received.My original question:
hey all--
a very general question for beaver county area brides--what ceremony and/or reception sites do you recommend? what do you NOT recommend?
also, does anyone here have any experience with the Fez in Hopewell? Good, bad? How is the food?
Any help is greatly appreciated :)
The responses I received:
"I'm not a BC bride, but I've heard a lot of good things about the Fez. I'm pretty sure the posts will start coming in later on this morning. You could also look up the Pittsburgh Vendor Bio, pghvenderbio, and it'll list all of the knotties that have used The Fez or any other locations you may be interested in. "
"Ours will be at Beaver Lakes Country Club, which may wind up being cheaper than the Fez (which had, from our visit there last fall, a set price per person for everything, including DJ.) The Fez booked really fast, we were there a year early and they asked us if we'd consider a Friday or Sunday. We also looked at Seven Oaks Country Club in Darlington and the Willows Inn near Industry for comparison purposes. There's the Wooden Angel in Beaver/Bridgewater if you wanted to go high end. There's Jeffries Landing in Bridgewater which is really cute but I think holds less than our expected guest count, however we are having the RD there.
Honestly, picking out a RD site was the hardest part about the planning so far. There just simply aren't a lot of options in Beaver County for that... let me know if you have more questions, and good luck!"
"rolling acres is really nice as well
i have heard good things about the Fez... my parents had their reception there almost 30 years ago!! "
"I am having mine at Franzee's in Ambridge...so far so good...it is in about a month! The food is supposed to be spectacular and they are very affordable! " (This is a no as someone I knew in high school just got married there. And I don't like her.)
"I have heard from vendors to neighbor's that the food is really good at the Fez. Everything is a la mode, so you can choose what you can afford. They do have a package that's $36/ per person that includes dinner, appetizers, drinks, the cake, and the DJ!
you pretty much have to book a year ahead if you have your heart set on a certain date.
Someone I know got a great deal from the Crown Plaza hotel, which normally has a $10,000 minimum. (They only have a $3200 min. for them because the date was open 6-8 months prior to the event. "
"I have been to 2 weddings at the Fez in the past year and both have been great. A PP also mentioned the Crowne Plaza - not exactly in BC, but close and that is where we are having our reception. I have no complaints so far! They are wonderful to work with!"
"Hello~ I had my wedding at the Fez a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing!! I would highly recommend it for both price and service. I would love to give you more information if you would like. My email is lucymoninger03 at yahoo dot com
The food was great! We choose the least expensive buffet package and the middle bar package. A beautiful cake was also included in the price. Some pics in bio. I would be very happy t o give you more info or answer and questions if u would like to email me"
"I am having mine at Jeffries Landing in Bridgewater this weekend....it is very pretty...and EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE! They are fantastic to work with and very accomidiating...They were voted best food for weddings the last 3 years in a row..."
"i'm having mine at rolling acres next weekend, some pib of the place when we went to visit last year. you can do an outside ceremony there & have the reception in the main banquet room.
i've heard good things about the fez as well. "
The Fez keeps sounding better and better. What do you think? I'm 95% decided on it at this point.
50 hours till I see you, 28 hours till I leave home...
